Chapter 2

Narrator POV
Hello, my dear readers, This is your favourite narrator speaking. I'm surprised that you all stayed for Chapter 2. I thought that by the time you finished Chapter 1, you would have immediately dropped this book, probably because of side character's boringness. But I guess that you're here for me, the coolest narrator ever.

A week ago, I had a chat with Ms. Writer about this book and its prospects. She said that if I narrate this chapter perfectly without violating side character, she will think of letting me narrate Aida's life and we both know that Aida is of main character quality as I stated in Chapter 1. I agreed to the proposal so today, you guys will be listening to my excellent narrating skills. I hope you enjoy and happy reading! I can already dream of the offer coming true!!!

Writer: This will be interesting. MWAH AHAHAHA!!!

Narrator's Narrating

"Jean, could you give me some of your sandwiches? They look appealing," Solome said, snapping Jean out of her thoughts. Jean was thinking about her future with Philip, what items to crochet, and which anime she would watch later today at home. But she had an ominous feeling that all hell would break loose soon though didn't want to worry her friends so kept it to herself.

She was hanging out with her friends in their classroom, having Break at Solome's and Ruth's front desk in the first column. She was eating homemade sandwiches.

"Sure, you can take some. I don't mind," Jean replied, shoving the sandwich-filled lunch box toward Solome's direction. Solome picked up a sandwich piece and munched on it. 

"Thank you for the sandwich!" She said and proceeded to eat the sandwich given to her.

Across the desk they were sitting on, Ruth gaped at Jean with jealous eyes, implying that she also wanted some of the sandwiches but was too afraid to ask. Jean noticed Ruth's stare and decided to give her one too.

" You can also take, my granddaughter," Ruth's eyes brighten with joy and excitement. She proceeded to grab 3 sandwiches from the lunch box and greedily munched on one.

Jean slightly laughed at Ruth who showed signs of greediness. She smiled while watching her two friends happily enjoy their sandwiches, hoping things wouldn't change for the worse.

"RRRIIIIIINNNNGGGG!!!" the bell went, signalling the start of the next lesson period. Jean got her lunch box and closed it.

"See you guys at lunchtime!" She waved her hand bye to Ruth and Solome and moved to her seat on the front desk in the middle column where Philip was.

Jean reached and took her seat next to Philip, who was drawing a well-known anime character in a fighting stance. She darted over to the blackboard where the 8 'achievers' were hanging out. They were scribbling down a bunch of rather perplexing spew.

Deciding not to extrapolate what they were planning to do and why they were at the teacher's desk, Jean put all her focus on initiating a conversation with Philip.

"So... Phil, what anime character are you drawing?" She asks, anticipating his reply.

"Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece," Philip responded, glancing at her. Jean felt elated when he replied, as they could spend days not chatting or interacting despite being desk mates.

 "How far are you from the latest manga chapter? I'm at least 20 chapters away," She spoke as she stared into his dark brown eyes. 

Phil thought about it before replying to Jean. "I could say that I'm quite far from the latest chapter, and I'm not sure whether I can catch up soon." Jean rubbed her hand on Philip's shoulder.
